: As usual around Christmas time when there is a war, the soldiers will
: sometime lay down their arms and come together for a moment in warmth and
: peace. Such a thing happened on board the Marathon today. Silent Night was
: playing over the intercom system during a lull in the fighting. I happened
: upon a squad of Pfhor projectile fighters led by a Purple Trooper. An odd
: thing happened, we just looked at each other, no one powered up their
: weapons. I slowly took my hand from the grip of my holstered .44 Magnum.
: The Trooper stepped forward and offered his hand saying gently, "Uhh
: er uhh ahhhh". This was an awkward moment for us both. Soon we were
: all singing carols and sipping eggnog. I reached into a side flap of an
: ammo pouch, found my lucky Bhanta foot and gave it to the Trooper. In kind
: he gave me a small cylinder with a blinking light. It was magical, and as
: he turned to rejoin his squad of blue fighters a light bulb lit up in his
: dim little pinhead. After 6 years of repeatedly playing the same level in
: the same map he finally realized I was going to spin around any moment and
: plant a rack of SPNKRs into his stinking butt crack. Quickly he barked a
: command to his corporal and the Pfhor squad opened fire. A grenade lifted
: my feet from the deck plating making me an easy target for the fighter
: staff's energy bolts to pin me against the bulkhead. The trooper charged
: with his battle rifle spewing metal slugs into my twitching, jerking form.
: Helplessly I fumbled for a weapon as I watched my shield bar rapidly slide
: from half yellow, to red, to nothing. As my lifeless battle helmet sank to
: the deck and recorded the scene, the squad of Pfhor pulled down their
: pants and slid back and forth across the room in the gore on their naked
: butts. Where's that damn action key!
: Merry Christmas everyone and happy CARNAGE in the new year!
